P1 Car Park

P1 sits by the main terminal, and the airport barely talks about it

P1 Car Park at Kaohsiung International Airport (KHH) is signed on-site as short-term parking beside the main terminal complex that serves Terminals D and I. Official info online lumps all KHH parking together, so you won’t see much about “P1” on the airport website or in reviews, but the on-ground signage clearly marks the P1 area near the front of the terminal buildings.

This is a short-term car park, so think drop-offs, same-day trips, or at most a quick overnight, not week-long storage. At KHH, most travellers report using parking for domestic hops from Terminal D or regional flights from Terminal I, typically under 24–48 hours. If you’re leaving the car longer than two days, you’re usually better off checking local long‑stay lots around Xiaogang District rather than relying on a short‑term zone like P1.

Because the airport doesn’t publish a P1-only rate card, expect pricing in line with standard KHH short-stay charges, which are usually calculated per hour with a daily cap. Local drivers on Taiwanese forums often mention that parking for a typical half‑day airport run costs roughly what you’d pay for a 20–30 minute city taxi ride into central Kaohsiung, so the math only starts to hurt on multi‑day trips.

P1 sits within a quick walk of departures for both D and I, so you’re typically curbside in under 5 minutes from your space, even if you need to cross a lane or two of traffic. Elevators and walkways connect the parking and terminal levels, and signage at KHH is bilingual (Chinese and English), which helps if you’re arriving by rental car and heading straight to international check‑in at Terminal I.

There’s no solid crowd-sourced intel on peak-time crunch specifically for P1, but Kaohsiung departures tend to spike around morning and late‑evening bank times, roughly 07:00–09:00 and 19:00–22:00. If you’re targeting those windows, build a 15-minute buffer to loop once through the P1 lanes, find a space that isn’t jammed against a pillar, and still walk in without sprinting to security.

Tip: If you’re dropping someone at Terminal I and staying under 1–2 hours, park in P1 instead of stopping on the departures road; it’s usually faster than dealing with curbside congestion and you avoid getting pushed along by traffic marshals.
